Tonight, at the 83rd Annual Golden Globes—held in oh so glamorous Beverly Hills—celebrities are setting the tone for what beauty means in 2026. While the most distinguished stars in film are vying for a trophy during the show, the red carpet was a moment of recognition in and of itself. 

First, Sinners’ Wunmi Mosaku announced her pregnancy on the red carpet, cradling her belly with a rich wine manicure and locs bent into an updo. Tessa Thompson—nominated for Best Performance for her role in Hedda—wore equally minimal makeup as Mosaku but with damp waves. 

Statement lashes (with lots of mascara) is undoubtedly replacing eye makeup. Just look at Natasha Rothwell, Nischelle Turner, and Olandria Carthen. But, it wasn’t completely obsolete. One Battle After Another’s Teyana Taylor—nominated for Best Female Performance in a Supporting Role—played her eyes up with dramatic double-winged liner to pair with her jet black pixie. 

Ahead, take a look at more of our favorite beauty moments from the 2026 Golden Globes red carpet.
